NHL fantasy waiver wire, Week 3
Denton Mateychuk (CBJ) leads the Week 3 (Oct 12-18) pickups, 5.4 minutes a night above his season line counting power-play time twice. No free source publishes NHL fantasy add counts we may republish, so this list ranks players outside our top 160 by ice time and power-play role gained over their team's last five games, from the NHL's own reports.

Common questions
Why are there no add counts on this page?
No free source publishes NHL fantasy add and drop counts that we may republish, so the list is ranked on the NHL's own ice-time reports instead. A coach giving a player more minutes and power-play time is what an add spike usually follows.
How is the list ranked?
Skaters ranked outside our top 160 (a 12-team league rosters roughly 190 players) who played at least three of their team's last five games. They are ordered by ice time gained against their season line, with power-play minutes counted a second time because that is where most fantasy points are scored. A player on the first power-play unit is listed even with a smaller gain.
Which goalies are listed?
Goalies outside the top 24 at the position who started at least half of their team's recent games, ordered by that share. Yaroslav Askarov leads this week.
